Such a beautiful and thoughtfully designed the space. The little shop is absolutely adorable, I honestly wanted to buy everything. You can really feel the love and care that went into creating this place. We were gifted a birthday gift card for my child, and he was so excited to visit. We joined the waiting list, hoping to get in, but unfortunately weren’t able to that day. Of course, we completely understand that policies and capacity limits exist for a reason. Still, since it was his birthday, it would have meant the world to him to even briefly pet one of the cats. That said, we truly love the concept and what you’re doing. We often visit Brooklyn Cat Cafe and really appreciate spaces that create safe, loving environments for cats while connecting them with people. We’ll definitely try again another time — and we’re still so excited to come back.

We visited during children’s hours with our 2 children and all had a wonderful time! The space is beautiful, clean, and well thought out for both the cats and visitors. The staff were all clearly invested in the wonderful cats. They were helpful, caring, and informative. Of course, the cats were the stars! It was so fun to see all the different personalities of these adorable, adoptable kitties. We finished our visit with some DELICIOUS macarons. Highly recommend a visit!

Meow Parlour is incredible! Their space is always sparkling clean, smells wonderful, and they always have plenty of playful kitties with interactive toys, and loads of space to move around. It hardly ever feels crowded, and they even have little booths if you wanna sit & answer some emails. The staff is also welcoming and friendly!

I will forever be grateful to Meow Parlour for the best two boys a cat mom could ever ask for. You can tell how much they love every cat that comes through their doors. I visited their booth at the Bryant Park Christmas Market this past season and the girl working there remembered my boys and even still had a picture of one of them on her phone, and I had adopted them nearly two years earlier! Go if you have the chance, you won’t regret it 😻

We adopted our cat from Meow Parlour and couldn't have had a better experience. The scheduling, visit, application process, and adoption were all as a friction-less as could be. The description of our cat from the fosters and MP team were dead on - he's a quirky dude and they were able to convey his personality perfectly. Our little guy prefers to be a single pet, otherwise we'd have adopted from them again already!

An absolute must-visit for any cat lover! Not only is it a gorgeous and fun space to spend time with adoptable cats, but they also have a 501c3 nonprofit that does such incredible work saving vulnerable cats and giving them a better life. Truly one of the best organizations to support & a great place to adopt a cat!

We love this cat cafe, it’s so well designed and we love socializing with the cats. The cats are very at ease and playful if you come at the right time of the day. They let just the right number of people into the cafe for it not to feel overcrowded. The cafe items are wonderful and there’s a great little shop. We have visited twice now and will be back.

One of the best cat cafes I’ve ever been to, and I’ve visited them all over the country! The cat room was incredibly spacious and super clean. Staff was lovely and very friendly and informative. I know the cats temperaments and moods really depend on a lot of things (and it’s not the fault of the cafe if the cats aren’t super friendly) but this was a total treat because they were! Lots of kittens who were super playful and some older cats who were very content to be petted. The best part was the VIP area in the front! Price was super reasonable and there was lots of stickers and other swag to buy in the front. Absolutely worth a visit!!

My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Meow Parlour! We booked a visit on Saturday to hang out and meet the kitties which was so much fun! Staff was so knowledgeable and kind, the environment was so clean, the cats were all in good health and happy! We were looking to adopt and met this sweet boy, “Spud Muffin,” and had to fill out an application! On Monday afternoon we had already been interviewed and approved and went to pick up the baby! I cannot stress enough how kind and helpful all of the staff I interacted with were! Namely Claire and Rachel! Thank you guys for your help! Spud is now at his forever home and HAPPY! We’ll be back again! :) If you are looking to adopt, PLEASE consider Meow Parlour!!!!

This place is wonderful, especially if you love cats. There were many young kittens, and I really enjoyed interacting with them. Most were very playful and friendly, while a few were a bit shy—but they still warmed up if you took the time to play with them. I would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area and enjoy being around cats. They are all incredibly adorable.

Hands down one of the best cat cafes I’ve ever been to. So neat and clean with plenty of room for the cats. The gentlemen at the front was super helpful! I love that they do half-hour visits as well.

We adopted our bonded pair of cats (older kittens at the time) from meow parlour in the summer of 2024, and we couldn’t recommend this organization more. Their animals are well cared for, and the staff are friendly and helpful when inquiring about adoption, and with any follow up requests post adoption. Cats in a cat cafe are more used to socialization, with people and other pets. We now have two cuddly cats, who love everyone they meet. We adore our Cowboy and Dolly!

Bf & I had so much fun. There were tons of rules in place to ensure the safety of all the kitties. The place is well managed <3 PS: we were not allowed to pick up any kitties. This one fella jumped on my bf and bonded with him so we just let the fella chill on him lol

My husband and I were visiting NYC and thought it would be fun to try a cat cafe since we are huge cat lovers and have never been to one before. We found Meow Parlour and made a reservation for their special “snack time” event they do on Tuesdays. It is a 90 minute session that includes a snack and a drink (for you, not the cats!) We enjoyed our experience immensely! The cats were playful and loving. There were so many of them spread out throughout the room so it never felt like we were fighting other visitors for the cats’ attention. I would say 90% of the cats were kittens and they were very active the entire session. While we didn’t necessarily go for the drinks and snacks, we both were pleasantly surprised by how yummy our lattes were. The pastries we ordered were good as well. It was very simple to order; you use an iPad on a kiosk inside the room and they bring your order to you, so you never have to leave the cats. The staff was friendly and it wasn’t crowded at all. I like that they do separate times for children; we enjoyed the calm atmosphere surrounded by other adults. We loved our visit and would definitely come again if we are ever back in the city!

Omg it was the most Amazon experience!!! Lovely cats and they’re for adoption, they have high standards which is great. They’re really taken care of, it was fun. And they have such great gifts, I wanted everything!

I had the best time visiting with the cats here. I made a reservation before visiting and would definitely recommend doing so since space is limited. The cats are so cute and well cared for, and I fell in love with Diver. Anyone who adopts her will be so lucky! I enjoyed grabbing a cute Totoro kicker toy for my cats at home, too.

Great place, many kittens, all are playful and cute . Lots of space. Better to make a reservation, to secure the spot. Entrance is by the hour. We were lucky to come exactly at 5pm and made it with no reservation. Cats are so cute, that we end up forgetting to order food. Entrance is $23 for each person. Do not forget socks, since should take off shoes.

Me and my partner came here on Tuesday, our last day in New York before we went back home and it was a really good experience. The merch is adorable and very reasonably priced and the staff are all very nice. The person who was attending the register and the main area was also really nice and while we’re very sad we couldn’t adopt any of the cats there we hope they find loving homes soon. We will definitely be back when we come back to nyc! We even got to meet the owner of the cafe! She was very nice and took pictures of baby corn on my phone ! I love baby corn and I hope he feels better soon. The cookies are also really good ! I had a cookies and cream one! Overall, we highly recommend this cute little cat café if you’re in the area and want to play with some kitties or are looking to adopt!

One of the few cat cafés in the city. There are many cats here (about twenty) and ample space. Tickets for every timeslot or limited to avoid overcrowding, which is a smart idea. The cats are all adoptable. Inside, you can order drinks or some pastries and enjoy them while playing with the cats. Plenty of toys that you can use to play with the cats.

From their social media to in-person interactions with the staff, it's clear that Meow Parlour genuinely cares for their cats. I've been skeptical of cat cafes in the past, as some seem to prioritize profits over caring their cats. But Meow Parlour truly put the cats first, and it shows in everything they do. Here, you can play with adorable cats while they are waiting for their forever homes. Remember to respect their house rules: no flash photography, and don’t wake or pick up the cats. It’s a wonderful spot for cat lovers, and maybe you’ll find a new furry friend. Highly recommend booking a spot here, all while supporting their mission of rescuing more cats. It is around $23 after tax per person for a 50-minute session.

We had so much fun at the Meow Parlour! The cats were so fun and the staff was very friendly. The coffee and pastries were delicious. There is a fun gift shop with so many cat themed goodies. If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing time hanging out with cats, this is the place for you. The cat hangout area has a lot of seating as well as tables where you can do some work. You have to take your shoes off before entering the cat area. There is a place to hang coats and place shoes before going in. You can bring your drink and pastries in while you hang out with the cats. Can’t wait to go back, definitely recommend!

It was my first visit to Meow Parlour. Very cool place. I reserved a time online. There were probably 10 people in with me but it’s a large space/rooms so you have plenty of space to visit with all the cats. There are many cat toys and cool cat tees and spaces for the cats to chill and nap.l the cats are great. Kittens and older cats. Amazing they all coexist. I love that they are lo available for adoption There is a store in the front with cat toys, cute stickers, shirts, candles, and anything cat related. The team working the front and in the cat room were friendly and helpful.

The floor was a little cold but apart from that it was nice. I would recommend wearing some thick socks and enjoy your time in there. The cats are very friendly and taken good care of. We were there at 4 pm and a few cars were asleep which is cool. I loved that the place didn’t smell and there was a restroom. The staff are nice and there is a little souvenir shop.
